They've thought about it already, more than once, and the answer is the same: NO. Trey will write the scripts. He does have a team of consultants off which he can fine-tune the scripts, but they don't write any part of them for him. And I do believe I've said before that no one should submit any spec scripts to Matt and Trey here, 'cause they don't come here to get scripts.

I think it's pretty obvious that they are pretty content writing what they enjoy satirizing. Obviously they would like people to enjoy their work, but they aren't pandering to any audience. The truth is that they don't have to.

The making of episode where they are working on Humancentipad made this really, really obvious. they were pretty aware of the fact that not everyone appreciates poop humor as much as them, but it was the episode they wanted to write coming off of the Book of Mormon. I'm personally firmly in favor of fecal free comedy, but have to appreciate that they stick to what they enjoy. Most creative works turn out better when it is something the creator believes in.

However, it's rather insulting to see how often people are claiming that Trey ought to basically outsource his creation because some fans want each episode tailor suited to what they find entertaining.

And to think all this debate came on the basis of them doing a ridiculous live action reenactment scene to rip into reality television. Even more hilarious given how much of the griping is over how Trey has lost his creative touch by doing something different with the pop culture gags. Apparently creativity does not extend to screwing around with the formula or format once in awhile.

You're so right!

Worst episode of South Park I have ever seen. A total and rotund fiasco

Yeah, the point was that reenactments on TV shows are usually terribly acted and have 'actors' that look nothing like the actual people. It's been said 20 times or so now. The actors are being deliberately awful in their delivery and don't look like the characters because that IS the joke.

I'm a touch surprised everyone is harping on Kenny when the actor playing Kyle also has the wrong hair color. Not to mention them all being roughly in their early 20s playing 10 year olds.

I agree, the episode is pretty lame... The part I hate the most is the real people thing

Hmm...let me get this straight. SO if SP was made using real actors instead of animations, no one on this forum would like it anymore? Interesting.

Actually I would. And I'm sure the majority would as well. Besides, I thought it hilarious that they used 20-somethings to portray 10-somethings

I thought it was cool. It was unexpected and funny. I'd like to see more "curve balls" thrown at us; that is, more totally off-the-wall, unexpected twists such as this live action portrayed by actors twice as old as the characters that they portrayed. I can't wait to see what twist M&T have for us in Season 16B

Nice to see there's still someone as excited as I am
